Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- "I want to thank you for the professional and incredibly diligent work you have provided me with my lymphedema. To the novice and the uninformed patient (like I was), this terrible affliction can be a life-changer in some very negative ways. It is so nice to know that real experts like you exist in our world and within our medical community. I am deeply humbled and eternally grateful for your efforts. As your new friend and, hopefully, your "forever chef," I wanted to make you something sweet and special to remember me by. I present to you my banana, cinnamon, and chocolate homemade bread. It is one of my culinary specialties, and I hope it will entice the sweet tooth in your mouth and put a big smile on your face. I look forward to a very long and "healthy" relationship with all of you. May God Bless each one of you! Please continue with your excellent and much-appreciated work!" With my deep gratitude & sincere thanks, Chef Cardie Mortimer
- "Ana's diagnosis and treatment plan were presented clearly and professionally. She allowed me to ask questions and comment about my Lymphedema condition and rendered a thorough and very successful treatment program. In contrast, my previous experiences at another LARGER/HOSPITAL FACILITY DID NOT do this. Also, she directed my follow-up/maintenance at home. I am "THRILLED" at my success in achieving control over a very debilitating condition!" Ms. Jean McSharry
- As a professional dancer, teacher, and yoga instructor, I thank Oscar for his knowledge, dedication to my recovery, compassion and encouragement, humanism, and expertise. I could not have made an ultimately successful recovery without him.
Lois Englund - "Integrity, respect, and innovation are the basic characteristics with which Oscar and Ana Pozzoli operate. Caring for injured patients is a passion for OmniTherapy Center. Rehabilitation becomes a holistic process where one feels treated with compassion and respect."
Langirene Aguilh - Recently, I was diagnosed with a devastating illness. I felt so vulnerable and lonely. However, my experience with Ana and the OmniTherapy Centers' staff has been such an incredible experience. Ana embodies an Angel fostering the value of love, compassion, and support above and beyond, rendering health services needed to maintain quality of life. Thank you for listening, for your kind words of encouragement, and for your strong faith. I believe that one day, suffering will end, the sound will be rewarded, the pain will be forgotten, the Light will scatter the darkness, and our spirits will go on. Thank you. Eleanor Cupe

Services Provided
Physical Therapy
In response to recent shifts in the healthcare landscape, Omnitherapy Center is strategically adapting to the changing environment. While we've seen a decrease in orthopedic referrals due to more physicians joining large medical groups and self-referring, we are now channeling our expertise into specialized services for lymphatic disorders and focused education for healthcare professionals. Our commitment to our community remains unwavering, and we are confident that these realigned services will allow us to better serve those in need.
Lymphedema Services
Lymphedema, also known as lymph-related edema, is a condition that causes swelling in one or more extremities due to a blockage in the lymphatic system. This system consists of specialized lymph vessels that efficiently collect excess lymph fluid, which includes proteins, lipids, and waste products from tissues. The fluid travels to lymph nodes, where waste is filtered and infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes are present. Ultimately, the excess fluid is returned to the bloodstream.
When the lymph vessels are obstructed or unable to effectively transport lymph fluid away from the tissues, localized swelling occurs, resulting in lymphedema. At Omnitherapy Center, we proudly offer Comprehensive Decongestive Therapy (CDT), also known as Complete Decongestive Therapy. This is the original and most effective method for treating lymphedema, practiced in Europe since the late 1930s. Unlike other treatments that simply involve using a pump for an hour, we take a comprehensive, hands-on approach designed to achieve maximum results. We are confident that our therapy will provide you with the best outcomes possible.
Lipedema, Lipo-Lymphedema Services
Lipedema is a distinct condition marked by abnormal fat accumulation beneath the skin, primarily in the lower limbs. While some may initially view it as a cosmetic concern, it can lead to significant pain and other complications over time. Accurate diagnosis of lipedema is critical, as it is often misidentified as obesity or lymphedema—conditions rarely covered in medical school curricula. As the disease advances, symptoms can change, with later stages leading to excessive fat accumulation and lymphatic system insufficiency, resulting in "lipo-lymphedema." Furthermore, Ana Pozzoli provides specialized Bioimpedance testing with the advanced InBody scanner, offering precise insights into this condition.
